"LIQUID" is created by having a volume of silicone oil emit light while producing bubbles aligned to a grid. The neutral white interface is where sensations occur and images appear. Cells are continuously generated, stimulating the viewer's senses until a saturation point is reached when they begin to have an anesthetic effect.
*Silicone oil is a colorless, transparent liquid that is resistant to heat, cold, and water. It has a much lower surface tension than water and ordinary synthetic oils, and adding small amounts of silicone oil acts as a foam suppressant.
